March Of The Easter Bunnies (Short Story) - 3/21/2008 3:40:17 PM
Thanks for sharing this. I just love it. Happy Easter. The wonderful image of an Easter parade is colourful and exciting with floats and marching bands on display as they march along the avenue . Every year before Easter time comes from deep in their underground bunkers the Easter Bunnies emerge out to the sufarce as if called to do the impossible . Their journey was unique and beautiful . The Blizzard Wizard is the proud and protective father of all the eggs and each year stores all the Yummy birds under tight security until the bunnies arrive and take them up in their baskets on the march back to civilsation . If you are able to see the hope of Easter when one by one thousands of the eggs begin to hatch and little miracles begin to happen with children smiling and laughing . March on Easter Bunny . Not only have you remembered your way back but somehow you have been able to bring joy to all cultures and creeds . Smiles and laughter are displayed on both black and white faces . That is the call . That is why the march is so important . That is the reason the effort is worth it . The responsibility we humans have is to keep smiling and remind ourselves about the importance of the hope we have and to use that in our relationships as we march through life . The End Angela Watkins

This is a beautiful story. I have a friend who get marbles from her deceased son when she needs them most, and it always lightens her life. The marbles were the one thing her son treasured most, and he's given her over 100 in 20 years. God bless you. Kathy

Not So Alone (Short Story) - 11/2/2007 1:03:24 PM

Man With A Backpack (Short Story) - 12/4/2006 2:38:40 PM
This was as it was meant to be a touching story. Negative: it had several typos that distracted my eye from a otherwise smooth tale with a bit of a suprise ending.

Weapon Removals (Short Story) - 12/4/2006 2:31:09 PM
Interesting, telling a story without narrative. Short declarative sentences, but descriptive and holding the attention. It was almost worthy of Dan Brown as a story. Any tweaking of the writing would have only made it longer and possibly destroyed it. I felt thought the ending could have been a smidgeon better.

Mrs Murphy where Are You ? (Short Story) - 10/30/2006 4:36:03 PM
Heartbreaking but very well written story, Paul; God bless those who have to live with this every day of their lives! Truly a tragedy indeed! (((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :( >tears! <

Absent Friends - Ardoyne Andy (Article) - 4/9/2012 3:14:34 AM
paul, iv'e read a few of your articles and find them very interesting. i came to australia in 1968. i came from strathroy park in ardoyne but also lived in other parts of belfast. keep up the good work

Absent Friends - Ardoyne Andy (Article) - 3/27/2011 10:16:01 AM
I came on this article when I done a search for Holy Cross Palestrina choir.I was born in 1943 and lived in Ladbrook Drive.My brother Kevin and our friends Patsy and Eammon Toner joined the choir and were part of the group that sang at the BBC. Your article brought back a lot of good memories.I now live in Rochester New York but spend the month of September home on the Ormeau Rd visiting my Father who is now 96.My Father used to organize bus runs every year for the residents of Ladbrook Dv.Is there a chance you would have info on other Ardonians who had left. Would you happen to have an "E" mail address for Andy.

Absent Friends - Rocks and Ruths (Article) - 2/11/2010 5:22:11 AM
Great story Paul, I always enjoy tales from Belfast and of the people who lived there.

Absent Friends - Kathleens Got Out (Article) - 1/22/2010 11:43:16 AM
Hi Paul, its been awhile but I have to say the story 'Absent Friends-Kathleen Got Out' brought back fond memories of our grand auld town of Belfast. I spent many a happy hour at the Old Park Library reading Biggles books etc. I lived on Ewarts Row (gone now) and in the next street Waltham St, my father would send me to buy his Woodbine, packets of ten. I remember some people came in to buy just one or two fags at a time. I always got in trouble because instead of woodbine I'd buy Turf they had football cards in them. I told my father they were out of Woodbine, but doubt he ever believed me! And finally I rode the trams up and down the Crumlin Road many many times and often dodged paying by coming down one set of stairs as the conductor went up the other!!Like Kathleen, I can get along with anyone, religious differences became unimportant long ago. Sadly though it seems we have to take the Irish out of Ireland to learn that lesson. Take care down under!! its snowing here in Canada. Frederick Rodgers (irishrover)

More Insight On Poetry Form (Article) - 5/9/2009 12:59:15 PM
Hello Paul, thanks for sharing these structure types of poetry. Besides the Mirror Loop, I like the pre-phrase and the one word structure..I came across some poetry structure called Tercet. I am going to post it on my poetry site later today.Thanks for sharing

Yes We Can (Article) - 1/30/2009 8:03:05 AM
Hello Paul: I will see you at the end of the road. I want to see if the election of the first black President does indeed change attitudes, deeds, eradicate division between races, reduce prejudice due to skin cilor and promote brotherly love. What a blessing if it did, and for our sake I pray it happens. I know your article indicates that we now have that chance for that but how many folks will take advantage of the opportunity? We have too many people with the attitude of 'what is in it for me.' They are the same ones that would mug Jesus Christ himself! I pray for Obama's success. If we only had more folks with an outlook like you Paul.

Some More On Poetry Form (Article) - 2/21/2008 7:27:10 PM
Lacking formal training in writing poetry, I find your mini-courses to be of infinite value. Thank you. God bless you. Kathy

To Discover The Light (Article) - 5/19/2007 4:16:40 PM
Hi Kathleen , I had a calling before I left Belfast . That's all I wanted to do . The calling left after coming to Australia and I continued to chase after it . The harder I tried to find it the more I got to realise religious life was not for me . Not I'm married with 4 kids .

To Discover The Light (Article) - 5/19/2007 1:20:21 PM
That poem inspired me to use the on button switch. Are ye sure ye never had a vocation to the Redemptrists in Clonard Monastery????

Absent Friends - Rocks and Ruths (Article) - 5/19/2007 12:45:20 PM
Ya know Paul, it's always nice to read all the stories of the people who left Belfast for a better way of life. Have you ever taken a look at Joe Graham's site. I think you would really enjoy it, he has many memories of the old Belfast...I mean the one that we have all left and which is forever frozen in our minds. Slaite, Kathleen from the Falls PS I always make it a point to check your latest poem and go through your stories.!!

Absent Friends - Kathleens Got Out (Article) - 4/25/2007 12:26:02 PM
Hello Mr. Mc Cann, I enjoyed the article about Kathleen from Ardoyne. I'm the Kathleen from Beechmount St.I was wondering if you could let her have my email addess or give her mine ....thefalls46.yahoo.com... There was a family who lived up in Ardoyne called Mc Leans who had a family of girls who married Americans during the war. Their father was my grannies cousin. I have always wondered as well what happened to them. BTW the way that wee poem was said on the Falls Rd., was "HOLY MARY MOTHER OF GOD Pray for me and Tommy Todd Tommy Todd is a Prod Holy Mary, Mother of God" Funny how all those things stay with us. Thank God things have quietened down a bit at home. But we all must remember it started with a single request....Civil Rights....it was only later that it grew more serious and we all know that story well.The time has come to come to the table and I hope all goes well with it. My own Granda was in the Enniskillen Fusiliers and fought in the Indian war, Boer War and the Great War.When I hear Peshwar, in Pakistan mentioned I remember he was there in the late 1880's The reason he joined was not because of any love for the empire, but to put food on the table. One last thought, I see where there is a very good site, you might find interesting and I think you would be an added voice in it. It is called "The Belfast Forum," you should find it on Google. The other day, I noticed they had a request from people who knew anything about busking, I think you mentioned it somewhere on your site. Again Mr. Mc Cann, can you forward my request to Kathleen from Ardoyne.....from Kathleen from Beechmount St.,

A Century Of Memories In Ardoyne (Article) - 3/17/2005 12:17:32 AM
I was not aware of the Irish translations Gavin . Isn't it always the way .

From Slaves To Saints In Edenderry (Article) - 12/1/2004 6:09:38 AM
This is a delightful article! I now know even more about my neighbourhood. I always wondered what Ardoyne translated into. And Irish President Mary McAleese came from Duneden Park!!! I can hold my head up high now that I know that. I (figuratively speaking) can boast of rubbing elbows with the 'higher ups' lol This is a very beautiful spot, just look up at the mountains.

Victims Of An Addicted Heart (Article) - 9/2/2004 12:10:15 PM
Victims Of An Addicted Heart ..wow! you've done it again! Great insight! You bring out the facts and truth so understandably! Even a child could grasp what your pointing to. Yeshua bless Norma (softheart)

Homeless AtThe Doorsteps Of Hell (Article) - 8/24/2004 7:49:12 PM
This is the real world you write of! It's not a pretty place for some. But one thing about being homeless you don't have the worries that most of modern society has. You don't have to worry about paying auto payments, for petrol to run the thing, for power to light your residence, all the bills that people get from trying to keep up with the material world. Material things for some are like heavy weights that hold you down. Holding you down to the point you can't get your breath. It takes two working here in the states just to keep a float. Most people are living lives that are sinking and they can't dip the water outta their sinking ship fast enough. Jesus said the poor would always be among us. Look at Africa..India and your third world countries. Keep them poor, you keep them subjects. I love your insight to the plight of the underdogs. Yeshua bless Norma

An Elevator To Understanding Drug Abuse (Article) - 8/23/2004 7:51:40 AM
Paul, thank you for inviting me to ride the elevator with you and the others, who so willing shared their losses and winnings. God is good. Most people don't ever think of God when they need help...they want to do it all by them self. I have a family member who is trapped in this web of disaster. I know countless others who are trapped or have loved ones trapped. Satan is out to steal, kill and destroy all that he can. God can and will help, but you really have to want healing...In my case my family member enjoys drinking and getting high. I will continue to pray for them. There was a time not long ago, that for some reason people began to blame others for how they were. I call this the blame generation. I abuse because I was abused. The stories go on and on and on. The truth is everyone makes their own decisions and must live with the out come. No one changes until the reward of stopping out weighs the pain of doing. God will be there when they become serious about changing. Truth is some will die due to their unwillingness to stop doing destructive things to them self. For those that want salvation it there to be had. They just have to ask. Your story is a story filled with hope. Hope in a hopeless world. That's why God sent His only Son. not to condemn the world because the world was already condemned, God sent Jesus to be our savior, not only from this world but so that we could have a glorious eternity with Him. Yeshua bless all your endeavors Norma

A Tribute To The Late Paul Furey (Article) - 1/2/2003 6:28:01 AM
I was very sad and shocked when only a few weeks ago I learned that Paul had passed on. I first met Paul and the other Fureys on a fine spring afternoon in essen some 29 years ago. I will always remember Paul as a great musician and fine person and gentleman, and also as a fantastic storyteller. May he rest in peace. Sl�n leat, Paul love - Ulrike.

A Tribute To The Late Paul Furey (Article) - 12/9/2002 8:09:08 PM
You have the man down pat .. at least as i remember him and it is over thirty years since I saw him. But I shared many a pint with him in O'Donagues and always thought that he was never given his due as a singer. He had not the best voice but he sure knew how to bring out a song.

From Slaves To Saints In Edenderry (Article) - 12/1/2002 9:36:31 PM

Its time For New Hope and A New Pope (Poetry) - 2/12/2013 9:24:26 AM
Roman Catholics need a pope, like England needs a king. The word, �Roman,� has some significance, because the last Roman Emperor was over fifteen hundred years ago. The current church professes outdated ideology, gets its money from millions of poor, uneducated masses, and has hidden unspeakable behavior to protect its power and wealth. Time for real change, not a new pope. Ron

Summer In Australia (Poetry) - 10/15/2012 7:15:17 AM
You have described your country/continent in broad, sweeping terms like the land itself. �I come from a land down under, where women [I forgot] and men thunder!� Wish to go there sometime, like my nephew recently did, and enjoy the wonders down by the billabong in the summer, all night long. Ron

Reflections Of A Migrants Life (Poetry) - 3/4/2012 12:01:20 AM
The grass is not always greener on the other side; down under maybe more harsh and arid than the soft rainy climate of Ireland. Sometimes we go through bad experiences in our lives that are totally confusing and mystifying, and 'in a dark time the eye begins to see' according to poet Roethke. I can really relate to this poem - it's not always easy or desirable to fit into new surroundings.

Don�t Blame Jane Or Liam (Poetry) - 2/6/2012 12:53:03 PM
At first I thought it was about Jane Fonda and Liam Neeson and their misdeeds in the name of liberal charity. By the way, I back them 100%. And then I found this intriguing story unfolding in beautiful verse. A story poem that I thoroughly enjoyed that rings with a lot of truth. Ron

Memories Of You (Poetry) - 1/6/2011 3:21:27 PM
There is often no way of making sense of lost love...but time does gently heal, and memories will sustain and are yours to keep forever... Tenderly written... Love and Hugs, Diana...

Memories Of You (Poetry) - 1/6/2011 7:42:10 AM
Lost love can be devastating but somehow we keep getting up each morning to face a new day. Some of us are blessed to find a second love and when it happens it's truly joyous. You've put your pain into words very well. Writing is excellent therapy and you have a talent. Thank you for sharing. Donna

This was exactly my experience almost 6 years ago. The next poem I post will be about this- still writing about it 6 years later. You and I did not make any mistakes. We just suffered loss, as so many do. That is my consolation. I didn't fly the plane drunk, just have to crawl out of the wreckage. John

You have a big heart.The power of prayer really works.You know even though this world is very narcisstic,its good to know that there are still good people in this world like yourself who is willing to give a helping hand to someone who needs it.You showed humanity and compassion towards another human being.I am glad the woman is doing alright and she has her own family.This is a touching and heartwarming written piece that I enjoy very much.Take care EDWIN

The Old House On The Hill (Poetry) - 5/7/2009 4:16:18 AM
Yes we sometimes end up like old houses on hills, forgotten, abandoned, needing emotional repairs but there's no one who comes, until we die "and his family never once showed their face." I like the way you wrote this in prose style. Cynthia

Paul, Such a somber poem of what once could have been. An old man across the street from me died the same way, he was a recluse, no one knew anything, but what was behind all the hurt? This scenario is so sad.

Gone Too Soon (Poetry) - 3/31/2009 9:07:56 PM

For This Is The Faith That We Hold (Poetry) - 1/25/2009 5:25:30 AM
The new figure speaks of so many things and has delivered so many hopes to the youngs and the future generations. This was so AMAZING to see someone is willing to do so much for the children of the future. Everything takes time to deliver. Obama is not God, so we don't expect him to deliver everything he has said ALL AT ONCE. But I could see all the hopeful smiling faces amongst the youngs and the olds who were there to listen to his speech. They have faith in him, and in the process of having faith in Obama, they too, have faiths in themselves. When you believe "Yes, you can!" then you can!!!! I'm so happy that Obama has restored the faith and confidence into the youngsters' hearts. It was truly an inspiring event to watch!!! This world is all about faith and confidence. If we have faith and confidence in ourselves and others, we can conquer many things and obstacles in our lives; and that was what Obama has delivered - FAITH!!!!! There are many things that needs changing for the better, and I think everyone has to be patient in waiting for these changes to happen. Sandie Angel :o)

For This Is The Faith That We Hold (Poetry) - 1/25/2009 4:07:52 AM

Christmas In The Shelter (Poetry) - 11/18/2008 12:42:57 PM
So true of this season of the year. Many homeless some of their own accord, some were rejected by their families, and I suppose some have other reasons too. I feel them and know they are taken care of in homeless shelters but many decide to stay out on the street I am reading a book now entitled Whiskey island, it is a crime scene book too, but has about the homeless in it too. It is a terrific book to let you know people aren't always wanted by their families and do have problems and live on the street.

The Ladder To Nowhere (Poetry) - 10/19/2008 7:20:11 PM
Maybe instead of being on one's knees we need to unite, stand up and fight back. Take notice of all the businesses that have been forced to reduce their size or liquidate because "we the people" are beginning to fight back. Banks are on the run of their life because "we the people" are taking what is ours back. Great write... Be always safe, Karen

this almost reminds me of a revival song at church, very unique and really gets the meaning across.

Hello Paul, A very timely poem, and truly the Olympics of 2008 was a revelation of China's many contributions to civilization and the progress it has made from Mao's generation to the present. The presentation and the togetherness of world leaders in conflict makes it equally moving, making one wish that we settle our differences in a sporting game instead of the battlefield. Wishful thinking. Cynthia
